Myrtle Beach, part 2 (Apr 10-12=Days 6-8)

Day 6-Meltdown morning for Abby! She just was not happy! And here's a beautiful shot of me-only 14 weeks pregnant and look at me already...nice...


Abby's meltdown actually started on the beach-rolling around in the sand...
She got better by the afternoon, when we clothed the kids in Nana's handmade gorgeous outfits and headed to the aquarium. The outfits were very fun and turned out to be the perfect thing for keeping up with all nine kids on our outing! This is Zoie (age 9) with her baby bro, Jacobi (8 mos) and cousin Will (age 3).

Our little family posing at the Aquarium...
WHOA! This shark swam just above my head in the underwater walk-through...
Abby and her dad! She was getting tired...


A classic moment in front of the waterfall outside the Aquarium...Do you think the little ones were exhausted yet?

We went to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville for lunch because we heard they had a balloon man and it was CLOSE! We are all such good parents, and we realized it when we saw the tv screens loaded with drunken people in the streets, dancing to "Margaritaville" and "It's Five O'clock Somewhere" and even MORE when it was time for the huge bottle of "lemonade" (tequila) to come down from the ceiling and into the huge blender to make a "smoothie" (Hurricane mixed drink)...and even MORE when they walked us to our table, past a table with an almost topless hula dance lamp centerpiece!

BUT, the balloon man DID show up and all the kids got their balloon hats and animals and flowers, which they LOVED...

Our last full day...Abby at the lazy river...

Abby was all tuckered out after a long day of playing in the pool...and a long week of non-stop fun!

Overall, it was a fabulous time of swimming, playing, card games, food and fun!
